Phlox drummondii
Annual phlox, also known as Drummond's Phlox, is a yearly showy plant that usually grows to a height of 6-12 inches but can reach up to 20 inches. Its flowers, which typically have a pale center, come in various colors, including pink, red, white, peach, and lavender. The blooms measure 1 inch and are trumpet-shaped with a short, narrow tube. The leaves of the plant are soft, hairy, and sticky.
If there isn't enough seasonal rainfall, it's important to provide water during the fall, winter, and spring. The plant dies back after producing seeds, so it's recommended to plant it with summer and/or fall-blooming wildflowers. Allowing the phlox to reseed is essential with all annuals to ensure a plentiful display the following year.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
